This bill would, in the South Coast Air Quality Management District, allow those benefits to be specified in an ordinance, contract, or contract amendment adopted by the district governing board. The bill would also, in the South Coast Air Quality Management District, prohibit the employer from imposing a retirement ordinance or contract in the absence of a memorandum of understanding
prepared pursuant to the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act. The bill would also make related technical, nonsubstantive changes.
